6 Heppner Gazette Times, June 24, 1943 AT ItHE The president has until Friday night to sign, file without his sig nature or veto the Connally -Harness anti-strike bill Opinions were about evenly divided on his action until last Sunday, when the coal miners for the third time began walking out again. Now the prog nostigators predict he will sign the bill. Public opinion, they point out, will force such a move although the president may not have wanted to. Telegrams from labor leaders in both Oregon and Washington and all over the country have flooded the White House urging him to veto the bill. Incidentally, northwest con gressmen, like others, are getting "hail Columbia" on the one hand and highest praise on the other for their vote on the measure. The south bank of the Columbia river east of Arlington may be se lected by the army engineers as the site of another large mystery plant. Somewhere between 150,000 and 200,000 acres will be required for the project which, it is thought, like the Yakima plant, will be erected for the manufacture of powder. The site will be fairly close to the big am munition dump located just outside of Hermiston. The Hermiston igloos can store the entire output from both the Yakima plant and the pro posed new one. Huge quantities of water are necessary for such manu facturing and the Columbia river answers that requirement. This par ticular region has only a few inhab itants and the majority of the land is owned by the government. Wide open spaces are needod for such manufacturing, and both sides of the Columbia river meet such requirements. 0 Prior to July 15 high school grad uates in Oregon and Washington who desire to enter West Point or Annapolis should file their requests with their congressman in Wash ington Di.
